Hey everyone 👋 I'm Gonzalo.
I went to a private school with amazing college counseling. One-on-one help, essay guidance, someone who knew me and my goals. It changed my life.
But the more I went through the process, the more I realized how broken the system is for everyone else. 1.7 million students in the US have no counselor at all. At low-income schools, the ratio hits 1,000 students per counselor. Private counselors charge $300/hr. The students who need the most help get the least.
That's why I built MyCollegeGate.
The idea is simple — take the kind of guidance I was lucky enough to receive and make it free for every student. Maya is an AI counselor who actually knows your stats, your dream school, and your background. She helps you build your college list, write your essays from scratch, review your drafts honestly, find scholarships, and plan your path — 24/7, completely free.
What makes it different from just using ChatGPT: Maya is built on real verified admission data. Students upload their actual decision letters, so when you look at a school, you see real outcomes from real applicants with similar stats, not AI guessing.
No subscriptions. No paywalls. No data selling. Free forever, with a focus on first-gen and low-income students.
I'm one person building this, so I'd genuinely love honest feedback: what's missing, what's broken, what would make this more useful. Don't hold back 🙏
